the British seemed unbeatable. During the previous 100 years, the British had enjoyed triumph after triumph over nations as powerful as France and Spain. At first glance, the odds were clearly against the Americans. A closer look provides insight into how the underdogs emerged victorious.
Britain's military was the best in the world. Their soldiers were well equipped, well disciplined, well paid, and well fed. The British navy dominated the seas. Funds were much more easily raised by the Empire than by the Continental Congress
Answer:
The white settlers want their lands because of the fertilized soil for crops.
Explanation:
The land west of the Mississippi was unsuitable for farming and white settlers wanted to move to the Southeast where Native Americans lived. They wanted the government to move the Native Americans to the Plains so the whites could settle in the Southeast for farming.
The Stamp Act, Tea Act and Intolerable Acts were put into place without the consent of the colonists. This proved that Britain was not treating them as citizens, but merely as servants to their mother country.
The Americans realized that Britain was not going to stop enacting laws in the colonies this way, and they knew that secession was inevitable.
Answer:
The southern economy hugely depended on the use of slavery.
Explanation:
One important argument the South saw reasonable and justifiable to not abolish slavery was its dependence for the growth of its economy. In other words, the South's economy was maintained due to the work of the enslaved.
The South's economy was agriculturally based. They did not have factories and large businesses like the North did. They relied on farms and the growing of crops. There were many farms and plantations with too many crops to harvest for the owner, and that's when slavery came in. Not only did Slaves work on farms and plantations, they did manual labor including construction.
Because the southern economy was heavily dependent on slavery, southern slaveholders fought hard to keep slaves. This argument was probably the most reasonable reason to keep slavery made by the South, although it is just as cruel as any other reason for servitude.
To summarize: the South's economy would not survive without slavery, and southern citizens would not make as much money without them.
